Off-the-grid weekender on Banks Peninsula with stunning coastal views and robust timber detailing, featuring elevated decks that create a floating sensation above the surrounding meadow.
Situated on a rural property in a valley on Banks Peninsula, an hour's drive from Christchurch, this weekender is off-the-grid, with commanding views over a wilding meadow to the coast and – on a clear day – the Kaikoura Ranges across the water. It is very much in the rural vernacular, with close attention to robust timber detailing. Elevated above ground level, generous decks wrap around and between this small two bedroom home giving one the impression of floating above the grasses below. This house is shortlisted for an NZIA Local Award 2020, currently on hold until we emerge from level 4 isolation.
